Golf has to suffer six or more years
No blessing necessary. Simply a choice in how to get a good cardio workout.— August 4, 2018 2:36 p.m.

Again, irrelevant. I am not asking why nor suggesting you should have changed any quoted statements. I am simply replying to them as written nd as written they are incorrect. If you didn't agree with them, perhaps you should have found another sources who expressed the views you prefer. Had you indeed quoted someone who had said millennials are not coming into the game in significant numbers, I would have agreed that they are not yet, but pointed out that they are the largest group being targeted and more have expressed interest since the debut of golf in the Olympics than any other age group. BTW, in this day and age I think it is wise to believe that what someone says is what they mean, unless otherwise demonstrated.— August 4, 2018 2:30 p.m.
Golf has to suffer six or more years
don bauder, That depends on where you want to play.Most muni courses still remain fairly reasonable. I can recall playing at Bonita quite often in the 80's and paying maybe $40 bucks with a cart for my wife and I to play.— August 4, 2018 2:21 p.m.
Golf has to suffer six or more years
don bauder, I don't know what your definition of several years and many rounds, but based on the age of your wife, it has probably been a couple of decades or so. In any event, I started playing when I was very young, well over 50 years ago. depending on the course, I would normal shoot in the 5-10 over range, though some courses I played regularly i would shoot in the low 70's, breaking par once in a while. The worst score I can recall as an adult was shooting 102 from the blacks at PGA West Stadium Course in La Quinta back in the late 80's. It was a couple of weeks after the Skins game that year and the course still had that set up. I distinctly remember hitting 3 bunkers and pitching over the green from a bunker, never finding my ball anf taking a 12 on a 600 yard par 5. Never had more fun.— August 4, 2018 2:16 p.m.

don bauder By resident monitor I did not mean anyone doing so on behalf of the Reader. I was referring to the individual commenter whom you named above; the one who seems be unable to leave his past as an associate editor in the past.— August 4, 2018 1:41 p.m.

You know, no one was talking to you. If I want your opinion, I'll give it to you. Until then, why don't you just mind your own ****ing business.— August 4, 2018 10:37 a.m.

Golf has to suffer six or more years
don bauder In 2016, more than 64 million people went jogging or running. About 80 % of those runners do so to either maintain or increase fitness. About half of runners average 3-5 times a week and 15-30 miles per week. About 10-15 percent of runners are core runners, who train all year round for running events. They usually train a minimum of 35 miles a week and most run between 50-75 miles in an average week. I know several people who regularly run marathons and half marathons and I don't think any of them run less than 5 days a week and usually at least 10 miles. That's a long winded way of saying the answer to you question is that millions of people run 25-30 miles a week. Personally, I run 5-6 miles a day, mostly outside but on a tread mill if necessary and I run 5-6 days a week. Last night I went for a run at about 9pm. It was about 95 with about 60% humidity and a dew point of about 30. I did 6 miles in just over 58 minutes (no I am not very fast, I admit to that). Good fun though, worked up a good sweat. I will not be able to run tonight, but I'll start all over again on Sunday. More fun than an hour at the opera, I'll tell you that much for sure.— August 4, 2018 10:33 a.m.

Indeed. So no matter how many golf equipment and apparel manufacturers are "headquartered" in In the San Diego area, if they shift production elsewhere and merely retain the revenue and profits, then they represent a significantly decreased benefit to the local economy.— August 4, 2018 10 a.m.
